Beautiful house in a peaceful mountain setting—perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. We loved cooking meals, gathering around the fire pit, watching TV, and breathing the fresh mountain air. The home was high quality, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a restful getaway. We would happily stay here again!

Great stay for a March ski weekend

We had a wonderful stay at The Escape at ThunderSnow. The property is new, clean, and incredibly well-stocked. We found the bedroom and bathroom configuration just right for our group of 6 family and friends. We were there during an unprecedented few days of high winds and the internet and power both went out for about 8 hours one day; the property manager was extremely responsive and communicative during this time. Would highly recommend, and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you!

No water

The well ran dry! No water for 4 of 7 days at propertty. Spoiled our family ski vacation. On ground management company not responding to pleas for assistance. VRBO and Vacasa passing the buck. Second such incident in last 2 rentals. All done with both companies. I also will end my contrct with VRBO for my Nantucket home.

We are so sorry to read about your stay and were very surprised about the water issue considering the house and well are only two years old. We did everything we could during your stay including bringing in plumbers, maintenance, and the original well-drilling company. We were finally able to find a solution that has brought in six times the original water flow. We do hope to have another chance to impress you in the future!

Great stay but a few things to know

Overall, we did enjoy our stay and would return! A few notes: There seemed to be a small bug problem. I'm not sure if the house hadn't been in use in a while. There were a few dead flies when we arrived, and several I noticed in the lamp next to the bed, as well as in the door to the porch. There were a ton of ladybugs and a few ants (I think I saw 4 or 5 different ones in the bathroom on the first floor by the bedroom). I wish we had known the heat was down so far. Unfortunately, we were traveling a bit of a distance and didn't arrive until after 9pm and it took so long to warm up the house that we all had trouble sleeping that first night. It would be great to get some kleenex for the house and I'm not sure if the ice maker was broken or we just couldn't figure out how to make it dispense ice. The water pressure was disappointing. Oh, the mattress on the top floor (the king) was really uncomfortable so that was also a bummer. There was a slightly musty smell but I am very sensitive to odors and I'm not sure it would bother most people. As I mentioned above, we did enjoy our stay and would return! The house was well appointed (more big coffee mugs would be great though!), cozy, and well-decorated. Good games, lots of cute touches. My son loved the basketball game.

Fabulous stay in Western Maine!

This was our first time staying in a rental home and I am hooked! Everything was easy, from making the reservation, to checking in and checking out. Home was immaculately clean and well-cared for and the house was stocked with everything you could possibly want (my adult son who loves to cook noted “they have a meat-infuser!) Lots of room and a wonderful view. Definitely 5 stars.

Just what was needed

The house was perfect for our groups ski trip. It felt new and well put together. The only complaint was that the lower bunk bed was rickety and not very comfortable. Would stay at again.

Perfect Cabin in the Woods!

This cabin had everything we needed for a winter getaway. Plenty of towels, room to spread out, loaded kitchen, and cozy fireplace. We enjoyed walking in the woods and were close to town, Sunday River Resort and so much more. We had some issues where the house ran out of propane but the owner was fantastic and got someone to come out that day to fill us back up! Thank you for an amazing stay, we are already discussing our return!

Spacious and in good shape.

Inside was spacious and in good shape. Outside had lots of overgrown weeds. We very much enjoyed our canoe trip down the Androscoggin river and hikes in the area.

Great stay!

The home was perfect for 3 couples and we highly enjoyed our time. We each were able to have our own separate private space (with our own bathrooms!) The cloudy weather made for less of a view - but we still enjoyed what we could. Would definitely recommend trimming some landscape. As some of the trees are since overgrown compared to photos - but still a beautiful scenery. The Firepit was used multiple evenings - and you are completely surrounded by woods - loved it! Some Minor things - needs an iron, and the washing machine didn’t seem to pull any water or work - but other than that - all was well. Thankfully we had other options for clothing and bathing suits. Would definitely return - and don’t think twice about the escape at thunder snow!!

Beautiful home but saying the house was air conditioned was a stretch.

We arrived at the home and we loved it, it was beautiful, clean and exactly how it was described. The description states the home is air conditioned. It had a small unit in the kitchen and one in the upstairs bedroom. The house was 87 degrees when we arrived, we put the ac on in the kitchen and it barely cooled it down. The unit was much too small to keep up for that size room. The couple downstairs was miserable both nights because of the heat. The couple on the main floor had a fan so that helped somewhat. The house was 87-85 degrees all weekend and that was with windows open. The ac unit in the kitchen froze and was shooting ice out and then we had to shut it off. We called the rental company to let them know what happened Saturday morning. We told them that something needed to be done, perhaps swap out the ac unit for one that worked. She assured us someone would get back to us via text or email. We never heard from anyone. I’m sorry but as beautiful as we found the home, saying that the house is “air conditioned” is woefully inadequate especially during the summer months. Then to add insult to injury no one got back to us after we had a discussion with someone on Saturday morning when the house was a whopping 86 degrees at 9:30a. Unfortunately, due to poor communication on behalf of the management company and how hot it was all weekend we will not be renting this home again.

Ski Vacation

I rented this house for a ski vacation with my family. The house has a beautiful view and is immaculate. We loved the open floor plan and the gas fireplace. Having 3 1/2 baths was wonderful and it had everything that you would need in the kitchen. It was about 20 minutes to Sunday River. We loved it and would rent it again next year. Unfortunately we had to leave a day early because of a wind storm and a loss of power and water.
